Off Season? What to do?

[Jmorfish]

I think I'm giving my water craft a break for awhile, 'til we get some weather that will cool our waters down a bit...Kokes at Strawberry are a little too pink for me now, and they seem to be scarce or in hiding anyhow....I like hitting Rockport and E. Canyon a little later, in Oct. and November (and maybe Echo this year)....too far to hit Flaming Gorge unless I make special arrangements.....AND NOT A LOT OF OTHER FISHING REPORTS, so maybe a lot of you are in the same situation....tired of the heat and slower fishing, and waiting for (hopefully) the coolness of Fall.......For me, guess I'm trying to catch up on some projects that need doing, chopping down some ugly bushes/weeds that have needed it since early Summer, chucking garbage out of the garage, piling up some old clothes that I should have gotten rid of 20 years ago, making tomatoe juice and salsa from the garden, re-reading my old Louis L'Amour Westerns......And now, getting ready for some early bird hunts....Fishing will again be a priority, just taking a breather for a spell........What do some of you do during the Off Fishing season?...or do you not have an Off Season at all?

We have spent some time in the boat together and you know me and my family we love to hunt maybe more so than fish so that will keep me busy at least until early March, of course there are always a few ice fishing trips thrown in along the way. 

Yeah, I think we need to do a hunt or another fish day together....Don't know if it's just this crazy 2020 year, or getting older, or what...but I'm reflecting more on all these great seasons I (we) have, be it for fishing, hunting, gardening, years spent in Military, years in civilian career, my racing career, now retirement season....some of these passions (afflictions?) come and go, some we strive to hold onto as long as we can (like DuBob says)...just today a disabled buddy said how much he misses being able to get out and go when he wants to....Each of those Seasons is/was/are special, and I really look forward to the start of them all, or think fondly (mostly) on some that are past....I know years ago I didn't think about it too much, but all these opportunities, passions, (afflictions) seasons, mean a lot to me, and I'm grateful....even if the Kokes aren't hitting, the wind is too strong, the bugs are out, the ice isn't thick enough yet, I can't run anymore, the birds aren't flying today, the garden is full of weeds, etc., etc.....Guess I'm just hoping we all enjoy, appreciate each opportunity/Season that we have.....
